ACG Finn for Dave

[Skelf]

Just started to sort out the woods in this one.

Birdseye/Quilt Redwood top and back. Spanish Ceder body core.
5 piece Wenge/Bubinga/maple neck with an Acrylic Impregnated Flame Redwood finger board first of a new board from Larry at Gallery Hardwoods.
Piezo bridge and an ACG RFB pickup.
ACG EQ01 pre-amp. Piezo feeding one low-pass filter the RFB feeding the other with blending between the two.

That is probably the coolest looking fingerboard ever! Can't wait to see this one completed.

This is going to be one pretty bass.

Alan, hows this piece of redwood behaving after being resawn? Do you do anything with the plates once they come off the bandsaw to keep them flat?

Cheers!

That fingerboard is SICK!

Those are some sexy slabs of wood.

Not really if the wood is dry enough and the environment is also dry then they should behave quiet well.

Cheers Alan, I was thinking that that figuring would mean there are some internal stresses that would be released by sawing, and thats what would cause the warping...?

I remember a thread a while ago where a top was sawed from crotch walnut and it buckled over night - just wanting to understand how wood behaves before I try this myself

The only wood I have had problems with in that respect is wenge. Cutting it for necks and you have a nice straight grained board on the quarter and you cut it into the right sizes from neck laminates and the strips curve as you cut them from the board. Wood under tension which is released as you cut only fit for the fire after that.
